Abstract
This study considers a practice-based learning project in which 173 undergraduates enrolled in a journalism class reported on oral health issues in marginalized communities. Health fairs at local libraries provided a starting place for students to cover oral healthcare, an underreported topic in the media. Three nonprofit journalism organizations partnered with the effort to publish student-produced content. Through written responses from all students and 30 in-depth interviews with professional journalists, librarians, health professionals, and students, this qualitative case study presents a replicable community-centered intervention based on a journalism teaching hospital model that connects students with professionals and community stakeholders.
